i was wondering after using w705 for 6 months and the release of w995 which one is better the shop keeper told me there is no differnce in Software between w705 and w995 but he told me wait for 2010 there will be a better phone with 16 millin screen and might have a candybar like w902 .to all SE user which is best in performance and everyday useage. |

The software is basically the same (disregarding the arguably better audio quality), however, the hardware obviously is not. Difference include much better 8.1MP camera with AF, face and smile recognition; Wifi, GPS, bigger screen, stereo loudspeakers, a kickstand and playback control keys on the side.
The W995 is of course better, but I would suggest waiting a while until the Satio and the Aino get released, as they are even better.

Wait for newer models. Except the build quality I hardly gain anything compared to my old W910i. Moreover, it's way too expensive for the very few additionaly functions it adds to your 705. SE should seriously think about adding option to change to different font sizes in their OS if they are going for larger screens. I thought W995 looks rediculous with it HUGE fonts. I know I can change it but having it as an option will be cool like it's found in N-series phones from Nokia. Instead of seeing only 6 contacts at a time I can see more with slightly smaller fonts. |

'8.1 mega pixel pealing?' What do you mean?
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

Sticker peeling off is a minor issue but isn't "that" much of a quality problem, though it is disconcerting since people pay a lot of money for their w995 (including me). SE just found ways of nickel-n-diming stuff and found it's easier (i.e. cheaper) to use stickers instead of stamping their brand name into the phone's metal plates!
Buy and use a clear plastic case to preserve the phone's casing.
There are some issues with the sliding mechanism and possible firmware issues as reported by some owners.
All sliding mechanisms have "some" wobbling since phone is literally moving on tiny rails but hopefully the construction build is sturdy for the life of the phone!!
Firmware issues need to be addressed, hopefully soon, by updates but firmware should be tested first BEFORE phone leaves factory anyway!
At least SE "admitted" to "issues" with their phones which doesn't do anyone any good with phone problems!
How they handle it will determine whether or not the company will succeed in business! Their image is obviously tarnished especially for such a relatively high profile phone company!
SE should put MORE money into and focus more on Quality Control instead of promotions of their products!!
People aren't that tolerant if problems persist and/or aren't "fixed" in a "timely manner" considering the premium price on SE phones!

thanks for the info MrMojo
im planning to buy w705,
specs for me really rocks, 3g,wi-fi, 3.5 megapixel is better.
almost all you need comes with these phone at reasonable price.
Don't be so quick to judge me, you only see what I choose to show you. |

the w995 may have a 2.6" screen but it's still 240x320 with 256k colours
same as the w705 (which is 2.4") !!! The camera features are much better though with
AF and face detection. standyby and talk times (claimed) are better
on the w705.
I reject your reality and substitute my own. |

@ DEAF
How long do you keep your phones? If you get a new one every 6 months then why not go for a W995? It has the best spec of any released SE phone at the moment. If you keep you phones for a lot longer then I'd wait as a whole new generation of phones is on it's way prior to Xmas.

first of all i use to own w902 but the built quality is bad so i bought w705 which i still use . i said 6 months becayse the phones quality looks its been with me for 3 years. and i wouldnt buy a SE w995 because
A to expensive
B i dislike slide phones and like candybar
c w995 to me is not worth to buy as SE use its easy wayb to produce phone were is the good quality the candybar the hightech.
what a way to Steal people. |
